And it took me nine years to get back to the playoffs. So to say I came to Kansas City and have three super bowls that I've gone to. It's definitely *** dream come true. I'm very blessed to come here and be with this great organization and be *** part of it. But we joke about that. But here we are now at the Super Bowl player coach together. It's been amazing to pennsylvania. It's been great. I mean he's an ultimate person, easy to talk to communicate with, we love you, but this is the one time we're going with the eagles and um and chad and I joke about it because he's had *** few of those two. But if that doesn't talk to who those eagles fans are, I I expect that, you know, but it's all good fun and there's *** lot of family and friends back home that are gonna be having those red flags, red flags out too. So it'll be good. Hey dude, great to see you but your family and everything. I will do that.
